Humanity has spent its time enjoying a peace that can only be had through blissful ignorance. For centuries, stories of monsters have been handed down through the generations.

When creatures of the night proved to be real, the best of America’s military came together to form an elite band of rapid response teams. Their mission: to keep the civilian populace safe from the creatures that go bump in the night and hide all evidence of their existence.

During a routine mission things go horribly wrong and the Monster Squad finds themselves having to rebuild from the ashes of what they once were. This time they face not only the monsters, but their own government as a dark storm brews on the horizon.

A storm that will threaten not just the squads and their existence, but the lives of every human on earth.

Space travel is so overrated.

Bounty hunting isn’t any better, but it’s what Sloane Tarnish needs to do if she wants to fix the rundown spaceship her uncle dumped on her. So she can find him and dump it right back.

Problem A: Her uncle also ditched his motley crew–made up of a cranky ace pilot and an extraneous mad scientist–and they don’t exactly see her as the captain.

Problem B: Her ship’s too broken to leave the most dangerous system in the galaxy, where a recent power vacuum is turning the place into one orbiting cluster of fugitives, thugs, and swindlers.

When Sloane sets her sights on a bounty with a reward that will solve all her problems, the Commander of the Galactic Fleet himself shows up in pursuit of the same man. The last thing Sloane needs is to get tangled in a web of galactic politics–but she won’t let her prize go, either. The payoff is just too big to give up.But as dangers close in on all sides, she can’t help wondering if she’ll live to claim her prize…

Chaos Zone is the first installment in a new space opera series full of reckless women, messy worlds, and big adventures–perfect for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy and the Mandalorian. Order your copy of Chaos Zone now!

It isn’t a war—it’s a massacre. Mindless mechanical aliens are destroying everything in their path. And their path is heading straight for Earth…

Captain Jeff Bowers is a shell of a man, reduced to solo missions where he can’t piss anybody off. He is spying on the Prox when his ship crashes and he dies…kind of. When he wakes up he discovers he has a new body—and mysterious powers that could save the Earth…or end all life as we know it. 

Oblivion Threshold is the first book in the thrilling Oblivion Saga. If you love Star Trek and Starship Troopers, you simply cannot pass up this adventure.
